The Challenge of the Disciplined Life
Christian Reflections on Money, Sex, and Power
by Richard J. Foster
The Challenge of the Disciplined Life explores the three great ethical themes crucial to people of faith living faithfully. Drawing upon practical examples, Richard J. Foster guides the reader in day-to-day ethical decision making while helping each of us determine the proper place in Christian life of money, sex, and power. “The author’s words on how giving can bring authenticity and vitality to a devotional experience are important to hear in this day in which once again there is increased emphasis on spiritual formation and devotional exercises.” —The Christian Century.
